Project Appleseed

This Mississippi shoot in honor of those who sacrificed so much during the war for independence was special.
I had a pleasant feeling all weekend the founders were looking down from above .That they were enjoying the event as much as we did. 
Because of the work and dedication of Dond who mentored the Mississippi program and the effort of every RedHat + IIT this shoot was a success in every way.
TY Wesm for starting thread and TY to all who posted . Most of what we did has been covered .Thinking back it's hard to put words to the emotions the Mississippi crew brought out ,in history, DOM and other excercises.
D451 did the pledge of alligence and a brief prayer both days .  I never heard a better prayer than D451 did .
I thank everyone who attended and it was an honor to meet each and everyone of you.
Like the song say's " I wanna go back to Mississippi" OOPs that West Virginia  but you get the idea

I would also like to thank all of the instructors for all the hard work put into making the weekend a success for me. I could not have made rifleman without the great coaching from each and everyone of you guys. I really enjoyed the weekend and look forward to the next one in the fall.

I am also happy to have the opportunity to become an instructor in training.

Thanks again,

Sorry for the delay of my photos being uploaded (I was Charlotte, the small girl with a big camera and special stationary zoom not like that fancy Mississippi zoom), been busy with school and such...forgetting to get the camera out of my car before parking it 5 minutes away doesn't help much either I guess...anywho, photos will be uploaded either tomorrow night or Saturday morning. However it was a great first Appleseed for me considering I didn't know half the things I was doing, couldn't understand half of what was being said, and it was the second time i had fired
anything bigger than a BB gun...but I'll do better next time (hopefully)

Actually, I thought you did great.. There is no doubt in my mind that next time will be allot easier for you..As far as the camera thing..It takes practice to really get good with my camera..I will be glad to work with you to accomplish that goal..  What is a Stationary Zoom???  Main thing come back in Sept.  D-451

I nearly forgot the quick course in GTA I was treated to by  the boys of Mississippi
Sat eve , 1 persons car keyes got locked in the trunk of a pricey late model sedan
Next I watched assorted B+E tools appear + Raven bending wire into a tool to reach the electric door lock.
Wow ,the door lock opened and the keys were retrieved.
Perserverance and focus paid off , like they always do 
I learned a lot this event , Thanx Guys
